What are the chances?

What are the chances?
Of hearing that perfect song, on a perfect day?

Well, my weekend was an awesome one, minus a few FAIL boat rides, I managed to hold composure and my bladder and not fly off a cliff at a bajillion miles an hour, and I managed to not flop a jeep after spinning out a 360 on a dirt road.

Overall, it was a good weekend, I had a date Friday night that I think went really well, with a super cool guy.

Saturday, I let my nerdiness out and went to see the Star Trek exhibit at the Science Center, 3 kids in tow as I oooh'd and ahhhh'd at the pictures and memorabilia, got my toes painted pink and my hair was good.....


So now on to that perfect song on a perfect day......

I was sitting at my desk about 20 minutes ago, listening to Social Distortion, Pennywise, and Rob Zombie. This song came up, ironically right after Sick boys, and before Bro Hymn, its called Highway 101. I had to listen to this song 3 times before I decided that I truly liked it.

"Take a drive baby up the coast, yea highway 101
I’ll pass Ventura and Santa Barbara too, just as fast as my motor runs
Gotta pocket full of memories, some happy and some are sad
Gotta girl standin’ by my side through the good times and the bad

Chorus:
Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain
I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains

Sick boy, sick girl, looking nice dressed up on a Saturday night
Take a walk downtown for a while and chase the pale moonlight
I can still hear the mission bells and the train rollin’ through your town
Gonna leave this world behind, we’re Southern California bound

Chorus: x 2
Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain
I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains
Follow the palm trees under the California sun
I believe in love now, I believe in love again"

Of course, I had heard the song once or twice before, but never really HEARD the song until today. Thanks to a friend who shall remain nameless, he opened my eyes to music I wasn't hearing until recently. Now this particular album, has a certain song on it that I didnt want to hear, I had a fear of being reminded of darker days past. The album is Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll, the song of darker days is Angels wings, reminds me too much of my brother.

So this song comes on, and I start to really hear the words, escaping with the song. To me, it was the perfect song to a perfect day.

When times like these come around, I retreat to my music for consolation, I also write alot and get tattoos. It's times like these that my fondest memories are created and my heart is healed.

I suggest if you get the chance to hear it, you do so.


Enjoy....
